But at this moment, one of the other two demon cultivators who had not moved suddenly spoke up, "My fellow Daoist, when you said you were looking for friends, do you want to form a new team?"
When Li Yan heard this, he thought to himself, "Here it comes!"
From the news they had received before, they found that some demon cultivators in the town seemed to be reorganizing into teams, and these teams often consisted of only a few people. Li Yan and the other four discussed the reasons for this, but there was no good answer.
If this is the gathering place for the army's attack, then all the monks will be incorporated into the team, and there is no need to form a team at all.
Before everyone understood what was going on, the last piece of news was ignored by others, but Li Yan thought it was worth a try, so his words were ambiguous.
He turned his head and glanced at the bald man. "I originally wanted to find someone familiar to form a team with so that I could make some preparations early, but I couldn't find anyone for the time being. There are so many people coming and going in this town. Bringing these human monks with me will not only not be of any help, but will even be a hindrance in some places."
What Li Yan said just now were all traps set based on his speculations, but he was not very sure. If it didn't work, he would try other reasons.
But Li Yan felt that judging from the indifferent attitude of several demon cultivators in the courtyard, the most likely possibility was that they would have to temporarily leave the courtyard.
Later, Li Yan wanted to quietly use the "Stealth at Night" technique to sneak back to the courtyard alone, waiting for an opportunity to see if he could contact the "Luoshu Lake" disciple and make further plans.
As for how they could summon the demon cultivator with the forbidden token alone, it would be very difficult for the five of them to ambush and kill him together.
Now "Zhouyang Town" is full of cultivators, and there may not even be a place to ambush and kill. Therefore, the subsequent series of plans will be very difficult to implement. But they can only take one step at a time. Now the changes here are too great, and they are caught off guard.
It was not until the bald demon cultivator spoke that Li Yan was overjoyed. This man was the only demon cultivator leading the "Qingling Sect" that Bai Rou had discovered when she was lurking in the mountains before.
Although Li Yan was happy in his heart, he remained expressionless. Instead, he looked the bald demon cultivator up and down and did not speak immediately.
“My fellow Daoist, my name is Jiao Hua. Our team went out on a mission the day before yesterday and encountered a fierce battle. Although we killed the entire enemy team, we also suffered nearly half of our casualties.
The human monks were despicable and shameless. The two monks attacked the deputy captain of the team together but were unable to win. In the end, the two of them chose to self-destruct together, causing the deputy captain to die on the spot. "When he said this, the bald man showed a ferocious look on his face.
“But in the end, I didn’t let the surviving monks have an easy time. I sealed their cultivation abilities one by one and lined them up so that they could see each other.
Then they slowly cut open their stomachs one by one, dragging their intestines on the ground, until they wail and scream for a long time, and then slowly die in pain, hehehe..."
At this point, the patterns on the bald man's face trembled violently, and he seemed extremely excited.
After hearing this, the other three demon cultivators also laughed and started discussing how they had slaughtered human cultivators in the past.
Li Yanze still had an indifferent expression. He interrupted the excited words of the four demon cultivators and clasped his fists. "My name is Li Yan. Daoist Fellow Jiao, do you mean that our two teams should be combined?"
While Li Yan was speaking, he clearly felt that the four people behind him, except Sun Guoshu, the other three were trembling slightly and their breath was fluctuating.
Li Yan knew that the three men were not afraid because they heard about the other party's cruel methods, but were extremely angry.
Before Jiao Hua could answer, the short and strong demon cultivator suddenly shouted in a deep and cold voice, "Friend Li, it seems that your subordinates are not satisfied."
This demon cultivator was the strongest among the four, so his perception was the most acute and he noticed the abnormality immediately. As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone in the courtyard fell on Bai Rou and the other three.
Sun Guoshu felt as if he was being stared at by a bunch of evil men, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, "Why are these masters of the Wuliang Sect so impatient? Are they going to take action now?"
But when he thought about the consequences of taking action here, which would almost certainly result in death, Sun Guoshu felt unwilling.
At this moment, Li Yan's voice sounded again, "So what if you are not satisfied? If there were no one else available, it would be a matter of a moment to let them die. However, your people are not much better, either."
After saying that, Li Yan glanced at the South China Sea monks who were on guard in the courtyard. Some of them still had expressions of shame and pity on their faces. It seemed that some of them had also participated in this kind of massacre.
The four demon cultivators, who originally had glares as sharp as knives, snorted heavily at the cultivators in the courtyard after hearing Li Yan's words, and then stopped looking at Bai Rou and the other three.
Of course they knew that these South China Sea monks who had been planted with restrictions truly hated them in their hearts, but the restriction tokens that controlled their life and death were on themselves.
It was exactly what Li Yan said. Wanting them to die was just a matter of thought. No matter how unwilling they were, they would still obey the orders given.
Jiao Hua retracted his gaze and said to Li Yan, "That's what I was thinking. Time is urgent now. It's possible that Li Daoyou's friends may not be able to come to Zhouyang Town. How about we form a team?"
The demon cultivators here all know that the number of them who can break through the second realm channel of the South China Sea is limited. If they do not have people to command them, they will bear the brunt of the attack and may even be the one to go up in the first wave.
Although the demon cultivators are very powerful, no one wants to die easily. If you can control the South China Sea cultivators to consume their power, why not do it
And if he died unexpectedly in the battle, then his Nanhai monks would definitely take the opportunity to escape, so a team like theirs with only one demon cultivator left would want to regroup, so that even if he died, the restriction token on his body would still work. Even if Li Yan died, and he got the restriction token from him, then the four people under him would belong to him, and among these four people, there were two fake Dan monks.
After hearing Jiao Hua's words, Li Yan did not reply immediately, but looked around at the people in the courtyard before speaking.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao's suggestion is the best one at the moment, but who are your people here?"
As soon as Li Yan said this, Jiao Hua showed embarrassment. He still had six men under him, but the ones with the highest cultivation were only two in the late foundation building stage, and the rest were in the early foundation building stage.
Although their number seems to be larger than Li Yan and his group, their fighting power is not as good as that of the other side. Even his own cultivation cannot be compared with that of Li Yan in front of him.
He understood what Li Yan meant. He clearly wanted to see how strong his side was, fearing that he would drag down their overall strength.
At this time, among the other three demon cultivators, the short and strong demon cultivator was from the same team as another demon cultivator, and their team had just come here and had not suffered any losses.
At the same time, even if Li Yan's team could be brought in to strengthen their strength, if a team has too many demon cultivators leading it, the distribution of command power in the team would also be a problem.
So the short and strong demon cultivator and his deputy captain just laughed and watched the show with their arms folded.
Now, except for Jiao Hua, the remaining demon cultivator with a gloomy face looked at Li Yan and spoke slowly.
“My team also has two fake Dans, but the rest are more than yours, two in the late foundation building stage, and five in the middle foundation building stage.
If we reorganize the team, we should be able to form a stronger fighting force, but the position of captain must be assumed by me, what do you think, Li Daoyou?"
This demon cultivator's team is far superior to Bai Rou and his team in terms of both number of people and cultivation. Of course, this is under the condition that the other party does not know that Bai Rou has strength comparable to that of a fake Dan.
After hearing this, Li Yan glanced at the gloomy demon cultivator, and then looked at Jiao Hua again, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, what do you say?"
After being ignored by Li Yan, the sinister demon cultivator's face became even gloomier. He snorted heavily, then turned around and walked towards a house.
Although his subordinates are stronger than Li Yan, his strength is only equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building, which is quite a distance away from the fake pill realm revealed by Li Yan.
But he would definitely not be willing to hand over so many of his men to Li Yan's command, so he was just testing the waters just now.
"Hehe, I still have six cultivators under me. How can my cultivation level compare to Fellow Daoist Li's? Of course, Fellow Daoist Li will be the captain."
Jiao Hua reached out and touched his bald head, then laughed. His thoughts were completely different from those of the sinister demon cultivator. Don't be fooled by his crude appearance, he was actually very cunning.
In his words, he only said that Li Yan would be the captain, but did not say that he would be the deputy captain. By then, all his men would be dead, and he would definitely not listen to Li Yan's orders.
Among the six men under his command, at most two were in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If they fought with the enemy, they would most likely be wiped out at the fastest speed.
But if they were to team up with the five men under Li Yan, their combat power would definitely double, and they should be able to hold out for a longer time. In this way, he could hide behind and have much more safe time.
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded and said, "Then Fellow Daoist Jiao should also bring your people out to meet me. After both parties get to know each other, we can make further groupings and assignments. What do you think?"
At the same time, Li Yan was overjoyed, thinking that the progress was so smooth, this was what is called luck.
"Oh, of course. My men were injured. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Wen, I have exempted them from the guard duty and have all rested in the two rooms."
When Jiao Hua heard Li Yan agree, he was delighted. While speaking, he bowed to the short and strong demon cultivator beside him. The short and strong demon cultivator waved his hands and did not say anything, but he did not leave immediately with the other demon cultivator.
"Come out, all of you, and meet Captain Li." Jiao Hua then turned around and shouted towards the house behind him.
At this time, Bai Rou and others behind Li Yan also raised their heads and looked at the house opposite. They had not spoken a word since they entered the yard.
Of course, the reason for their silence is also due to their current identities. If they were transformed into foreign cultivators, perhaps they would have the right to talk to the demon cultivators.
The emotions of the few people were somewhat complicated, from the initial nervousness when they followed Li Yan directly in, to the confusion of not knowing Li Yan's plan, to the anger after hearing the words of the evil cultivator, and to the final turn of events.
In the end, I watched Li Yan complete his plan to approach his goal step by step. The whole process seemed so smooth, even easy.
It was not until this moment that they realized that they had overlooked a seemingly insignificant piece of information, which was keenly caught by Li Yan. However, without knowing the reason for this information, they might have been exposed if things went wrong.
